Welcome to Miss Rodela's online classroom!

Ave Crux, Spes Unica!

This is my second year as a full-time teacher. I was born and raised in South Bend where I attended Our Lady of Hungary and graduated from Marian High School. I have had the joy of spending time in both parochial and public classrooms all over the FW-SB area. I received my teaching degree from Holy Cross College of Notre Dame with an EL endorsement.

This year, I will serve as a 6th grade homeroom teacher and middle school writing/grammar teacher. Holy Family has given me the opportunity to continue growing in my faith while also jump-starting my career in a setting that is very similar to my own upbringing. I look forward to sharing my experiences, setting high standards, and bringing a fresh perspective to my classroom.

I have personally used this site to help me improve my "writing language." Simply type in a word in the search bar to bring up a list of synonyms and antonyms for the word.
